Abstract

This paper describes the automation process of filling level control for Coca-Cola bottles, through digital image processing. To perform this, an automated system was implemented on ODroid-X2, on the Ubuntu distribution, Linux. In addition, the creation of a prototype that simulates the physical conditions of the plant, located in the city of Bucaramanga. The automated system has embedded software developed in python, which determines whether the bottle has the right level of liquid. If the level is incorrect the system automatically rejects the bottle.
